Sept 26, 1917 - George Contemplates His Mortality

1917-0926 – George Stevens Sherwood to Family 
Friday 26 – 2:45

Have a letter started but have not gotten around to finish it. So Ill drop this to let you know all is still well.  Last night at 6 P.M. was in St. Louis closest I’ll be home till we Kan the Kaiser

Love to all ,

George
Even though this is a simple checking in postcard, George was apparently thinking about his mortality because of the little sticker he has added to the stamps.  Already he is thinking of the family when the soldier boy or man doesn't come home.  I like the front of this postcard as well since the boy to man characteristics is very apparent as he continues to write in the months ahead.
